American men are stuck in what’s been dubbed a friendship recession, with 20 percent of single men now saying they don’t have any close friends. More than half of all men report feeling unsatisfied with the size of their friend groups.

I was finally getting started on Capital this weekend, and he makes an offhand note about diamonds regarding their value, basically saying: “If we were to contrive a way to create diamonds from carbon, the price of diamonds would fall to the price of bricks”. Well, it turns out In general, lab-created diamonds are about 60-90% cheaper than natural diamonds. They may not be “The price of bricks” but they sure are a hell of a lot cheaper than natural diamonds.

Capital is a great read. I found it starts out a bit rough, but it just keeps getting better the further it goes.
